Recurrence: Let b(1) = 4, with b(n) = (n/(n-1)) * b(n-1) + 4n*Sum_{i=0..2n} (floor((4n-2-i)/2)-i) * (floor((sign((floor((4n-2-i)/2)-i))+2)/2)) for n>1. Then a(1) = 1, with a(n) = a(n-1) + b(n-1)/(4n-4) + Sum_{j=0..2n} (Sum_{i=j+1..floor((4n-2-j)/2)} i * (floor((sign((floor((4n-2-j)/2)-j))+ 2)/2)) ), for n>1. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 27 2014
